WILLIAM LLOYD FRIEDMAN, 0F OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

DETACHABLE HAT-PIN HEAD.

Application filed January 24, 1911.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM LLOYD FRIEDMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented a new and useful Detachable Hat-Pin Head, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will onable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful hatpin guard intended for the purpose of protecting the owner thereof from the loss of hatpins and also intended to prevent the point of the hatpin from striking persons other than the wearer thereof ant injuring them.

It will be understood. that ladies wear hatpins of considerable length, one end of the pin projecting ofttimes a considerable distance from the hat, thus endangering the eyes and faces of persons near.

Another object of the invention is to provide a guard which will be applicable to any hatpin, the catch therein holding a smooth surface such as the end of the ordinary hatpin presents.

In the drawing in which the same numeral of reference is applied to the same portion throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hat pin having a permanent head at one end and a detachable guard thereon at the other. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a removable head having the pin securing catch applied there to, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale through the tube end in which the pin is inserted when it is desired to secure the hatpin to the hat.

The numeral 1 is applied to the pin proper; 2 representing the permanent head secured thereon. At the pointed end, the pin has a head 3 which may be of any suitable contour as desired. This head has a plate 4 secured thereto which is provided with a short tube 5 near the center thereof. This tube 5 is intended to be of substantially the same size as the pin 01'' the ordinary hatpin, and it has one end closed, as at 6, the object being to force the pin up against the catch when it is inserted in the Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

sleeve 5 should the pin be smaller than the tube. 011 one side the tube has an opening therein, as shown at 7.

Secured to the plate 4 is a spring 8 which has a linger button 9 to move the same and the end of said spring passes into the slot 7 in the tube 5. This spring is of such length as to touch the pin when the same is insorted in the sleeve 5, but it does not prevent the pin from being pulled out of the sleeve, since its end can only move back by striking a small are which the metal of the pin prevents, this making impossible the removal of the pin from the sleeve 5 unless the finger catch 9 is pushed in, which at once releases the pin and permits the removal thereoi from the sleeve 5.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the head 3 may be made in any one of a number oi ditl'erent forms, as may be desired. The form of the head however, is only dependent upon the desire of ornamentation of the wearer.

laving thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent ot' the United States, is as follows:

In a removable hatpin head, an ornamented member, a sleeve adapted to receive the pin and having a notch cut in one side thercol, the inner end of the sleeve being housed in the member, a bar extending at right angles to said sleeve and securing the latter to the ornamented member, a spring secured to said bar and having one end five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D.
